SHC Pharmacy can accept legal prescriptions from
doctors from Alabama and other states.

CII
prescriptions (Adderall, Vyvanse, etc.) must be original paper prescriptions
presented by the patient to the pharmacy.CII prescriptions may not be
called in, faxed, or mailed to the SHC Pharmacy. New law legalized
e-prescribing CII prescriptions, if the doctor is credentialed and
authenticated in the e-prescription system per the DEA guidelines.

CII prescriptions take time. If your prescription is written by your home
doctor, please consider the amount of time it will take to receive a
prescription when getting ready for your next fill.

Prescriptions (written papers or filled prescriptions) cannot be mailed to the SHC Pharmacy. If prescriptions must be mailed, mail them to the patient directly.

it up for them. This person must have their own photo ID as well as the
student’s ID and a letter from the student stating that they may pick up the
